WWW was invented, I believe, in 1994.

Prior to that there was usenet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet) and also Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) which were forums with no graphics.

Email began in the early 1970s but didn’t takeoff until later.

Windows 95 (released in 1995) was the first really popular operating system built around Graphical User Interface. Before that it was all just text on a screen, but people still did a lot with networks.

Yep to me Windows 95 was probably the most significant leap in making the internet as we know it today. It’s no coincidence that this website began shortly after it had been released.
